Greetings from an old Chelsea fan now living in Florida.
I used to go with my dad in the early 1970s and sit on the concrete benches in the old west stand.  Later when I was older, and a little braver, I'd go with my mates to The Shed.  Many Saturday evenings I'd come home with bruses over my back from the knees ups!
Now I try to catch one game a year.  Sh1t, at 70 pounds one game is all I can afford!
My proudest moment was 2010 Chelsea v West Ham.  I took my 9 year old to his first Chelsea game.  
I still follow Chelsea at The Cricketers Arms pub here in Orlando where we old Chelsea farts meet to watch the games live on the Fox Soccer Channel.

Welcome Flyrr100! I am from Florida, but now reside in Ohio where the winters are bigger and the bugs are smaller. I'm qute sure you're going to enjoy this site, and it's good to have you aboard.

If you can find them on TV, some you have to stream.  Plus it's good laugh with the regulars in teh Chat room in here, so I get up for the games regardless.  Have to watch them live

Al,
ESPN2 seems to have the early morning games on Saturdays, then the rest I catch on Fox Soccer Channel.  Failing those, it's the trusty streaming sites
